EIF4A2 targets developmental potency and histone H3.3 transcripts for translational control of stem cell pluripotency

ABSTRACT: Translational control has emerged as a fundamental regulatory layer of proteome complexity that governs cellular identity and functions. As initiation is the rate-limiting step of translation, we carried out an RNAi screen for key translation initiation factors required to maintain embryonic stem cell (ESC) identity. We identified eIF4A2 and defined its mechanistic action through Rps26-independent and -dependent ribosomes in translation initiation activation of mRNAs encoding pluripotency factors and the histone variant H3.3 with demonstrated roles in maintaining stem cell pluripotency. eIF4A2 also mediates translation initiation activation of Ddx6, which acts together with eIF4A2 to restrict the totipotent 2-cell transcription program in ESCs through Zscan4 mRNA degradation and translation repression. Accordingly, knockdown of eIF4A2 disrupts ESC proteome causing the loss of ESC identity. Collectively, we establish a translational paradigm of the protein synthesis of pluripotency transcription factors and epigenetic regulators imposed on their established roles in controlling pluripotency.

eIF4A2 targets developmental potency and histone H3.3 transcripts for translational control of embryonic and cancer stemness [eCLIP-seq]

Project description:Stemness is a defining feature in embryonic and cancer stem cells. How stemness is regulated at the mRNA translational initiation remains undefined. We carried out an RNAi screen for key translation initiation factors that maintain the stemness in mouse embryonic stem cells (ESCs). We identified eIF4A2 and defined its mechanistic action through Rps26-depleted and -containing ribosomes in translational initiation activation of mRNAs encoding pluripotency factors and H3.3 for embryonic and extraembryonic lineage repression, respectively. eIF4A2 also mediates translation initiation activation of Ddx6, which acts together with eIF4A2 to restrict the totipotent 2-cell (2C) transcription program in ESCs through Zscan4 mRNA degradation and translation repression. Knockdown of eIF4A2 disrupts ESC proteome causing the loss of stemness in ESCs as well as in human glioblastomas where eIF4A2 is highly enriched. Collectively, our study establishes an eIF4A2-mediated translation initiation control of stemness and provides insight into cancer therapeutics targeting the translation initiation machinery.

RIP-Seq of Eif4a2 in mouse embryonic stem cell

Project description:RNA-immunoprecipitation can be used to identify transcripts bound by RNA binding proteins. Here we identified transcripts bound by the translation initiation factor Eif4a2 in ESCs. We found that several pluripotency transcription factor encoding mRNAs and factors regulating ESC differentiation show binding to Eif4a2 stronger than expected by transcript abundance.

Interactome of Eif4a2 in mouse embryonic stem cells

Project description:Cell fate transitions depend on balanced rewiring of transcription and translation programmes to enable ordered developmental progression. We identified a feedback loop between nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD) and translation initiation, in which NMD controls the translation initiation factor Eif4a2 and its premature termination codon encoding isoform (Eif4a2-PTC). This leads to translation of a specific truncated protein, which elicits increased translation rates and is causative for significant delays in mouse embryonic stem cell differentiation. Using immunoprecipitation coupled with mass spectrometry, we identified the interactome of full length Eif4a2 (Eif4a2-iso1) and Eif4a2-PTC. We find that Eif4a2-iso1 is mainly involved in translation initiation, while unstable Eif4a2-PTC shows little interaction with translation initiation factors. Both isoforms can bind to mRNA, as indicated by the interaction with mRNA binding protein, such as NMD factors and Ago2. Finally, Eif4a2-iso1 and Eif4a2-PTC interact with key pluripotency factors, providing a potential explanation for how Eif4a2 controls ESC differentiation.

eIF4A2 drives repression of translation at initiation by Ccr4-Not through purine-rich motifs in the 5’UTR

Project description:Background: Regulation of the mRNA life cycle is central to gene expression control and determination of cell fate. miRNAs represent a critical mRNA regulatory mechanism, but despite decades of research, their mode of action is still not fully understood. Results: Here, we show that eIF4A2 is a major effector of the repressive miRNA pathway functioning via the Ccr4-Not complex. We demonstrate that while DDX6 interacts with Ccr4-Not, its effects in the mechanism are not as pronounced. Through its interaction with the Ccr4- Not complex, eIF4A2 represses mRNAs at translation initiation. We show evidence that native eIF4A2 has similar RNA-selectivity to chemically inhibited eIF4A1. eIF4A2 exerts its repressive effect by binding purine-rich motifs which are enriched in the 5’UTR of target mRNAs directly upstream of the AUG start codon. Conclusions: Our data support a model whereby purine motifs towards the 3’ end of the 5’UTR are associated with increased ribosome occupancy and possible uORF activation upon eIF4A2 binding.

Selective translation mechanism through two paralogs of eukaryotic initiation factor 4A

Project description:Eukaryotic initiation factor (eIF) 4A is a DEAD-box RNA-binding protein that plays a pivotal role in translation initiation. Although mammals have two eIF4A paralogs, eIF4A1 and eIF4A2, their redundancy has been long assumed because of high homology and their functional difference has been poorly understood. Here we show that eIF4A paralogs employ differential translation programs. Ribosome profiling of eIF4A1- and eIF4A2-knockout HEK293T cell lines revealed that translation efficiency changes were divergent across transcriptome and distinct group of mRNAs were regulated by each paralog. Our analysis indicates that eIF4A1 and eIF4A2 facilitate translation of specific mRNAs.

Rps26 directs mRNA-specific translation by recognition of Kozak sequence elements

Project description:The “Kozak sequence”, immediately upstream of the start codon, regulates the translational efficiency of an mRNA. Nevertheless, how this sequence is recognized remains unexplored. Here, we describe a novel approach to separate two ribosome populations from the same cells and use this method, and RNA-seq, to identify the mRNAs bound to ribosomes with and without Rps26, a protein linked to the pathogenesis of Diamond Blackfan Anemia (DBA). These analyses reveal that Rps26 contributes to recognition of the Kozak sequence in well-translated mRNAs, and that Rps26-deficient ribosomes preferentially translate mRNA from select stress response pathways. Surprisingly, we demonstrate that exposure of cells to these stresses leads to the formation of Rps26-deficient ribosomes and to the translation of their targets. Thus, Rps26-deficient ribosomes play aberrant pathogenic roles in DBA as well as physiological roles in augmenting the well-characterized stress transcriptional response with a heretofore unknown translational stress response, thereby creating a feed forward loop in gene-expression.
